Old Age Is A Regret

I was photographing this dress to sell when I realized I didn't want to get rid of it. So much for lightening my load. I bought this dress a couple of years ago and I suppose between my frequent moves in the past couple of years it accidentally got relegated to a box in the basement and I never ended up wearing it. Figuring what to unpack is always the worst headache about moving and it doesn't help when you're a poor packer to begin with mixing your wardrobe with toys from your childhood that have no place in your current lifestyle or room. Anyway, I'm remedying the mistake of misplacing this gem now right before the weather turns too chill for something so bright and sleeveless.
In other news, I chopped my hair. Myself. On an impulse with a pair of sewing scissors. I've been trying to grow my hair out for a bob and was waiting for it to get a wee bit longer before doing the proper thing of going to a professional for bangs and an even-ing it to a uniform length, but I hit my patience (or lack there of) wall. A re-watch of In Time, which is not the best science fiction film but a definite style inspiration for me, was also a major influence on the decision. Now I have a sort of bob, although there are undoubtedly uneven bits here and there that would make a true hair expert squirm. Still, one step closer to hairstyle I'm aspiring to. There was a moment the next morning when I looked in the mirror and was a bit surprised with what I saw. Impulsive decisions made late at night are sometimes regretted in the morning, although I think I can live with this one.

I'm growing my hair out from a pixie right now and plan on doing a very traditional bob when it gets long enough. Right now it's in that horrible mullet stage and I'm constantly trying to pin up the back. - Leah, wisestyle.wordpress.com

You look SO cute with the bob and you cut it out well too! Impulse DIY cut are never to regret, sometimes are done way better than a professional cut (surely they are cut like WE like, not the hairstylist).This dress is a keeper and a beauty for sure!

I LOVE your hair! And hahahaha. I gave myself almost the exact same haircut (MYSELF) the other night. But I don't think I did as good of job. I had it professionally redone the next day. Looks fabulous.

One night in high school, my friend had a party at her house and me and my other friend decided that we were going to cut my hair that night so we ended up in the basement in the bathtub cutting like four inches off my hair instead of at the party. Don't worry your hair looks fine haha. I have moments when I just need a hair cut as well.

I think your hair looks good, it's just different and you have to get used to it. :) I also cut my hair this summer from long to short bob (similar to yours) but I don't regret it at all. I think this is just something you have to do from time to time. It's just hair. They'll grow back in a second. :)

Cutting one's own hair is always tricky but you did quite a good job! The bangs look excallent and the shape of them really shows off your face. Scifi movies are always the best of hair inspiration, yours looks pretty sharp with the blue!

i love the second to the last photo, and that photo of the grasshopper. your hair color is seriously so cute! how do you get it like that? also what are you naturally? i've been dying to dye my hair blue but am waiting for it to get to the right length. any tips would be awesome! haha xoxoenine-fortytwo.blogspot.com
